Perinatal Mental Health

Maybe you thought this would be the happiest time of your life, but instead, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or just...off. You might find yourself crying for no reason, feeling disconnected from your baby, or constantly worrying about every little thing. It's more than just the "baby blues"—you might be dealing with mental health challenges like postpartum depression, anxiety, or even birth trauma.

Signs You Might Be Struggling:

• Feeling anxious, sad, or irritable most of the time
• Trouble bonding with your baby or feeling guilty for not loving motherhood 24/7
• Constant worries about your baby's health or your ability to be a "good" parent
• Flashbacks or intense fear when thinking about your birth experience
• Difficulty sleeping, even when the baby is asleep, or feeling exhausted all the time
• Thoughts of running away or wishing things were different

How We Can Help: A Path to Feeling Like You Again

We get it—this is tough, and asking for help isn't always easy. But you don't have to keep feeling this way. Our therapy approach is tailored to help you navigate the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood. We offer specialized support for perinatal mental health, including:

• EMDR for Birth Trauma: We use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help you heal from a difficult or traumatic birth. EMDR can help you process these painful memories so they don't keep popping up when you least expect them.
• Practical, No-Judgment Therapy: We provide a safe space to talk about your fears, worries, and everything in between. No topic is off-limits, and we'll work together to help you feel more grounded and confident.
• Tools to Manage Anxiety & Overwhelm: Learn coping strategies that actually fit into your busy life as a parent. Whether it's calming your mind during a 2 a.m. feeding or finding a moment of peace amid the chaos, we've got you.

Outcomes You Can Expect:

• Feeling more connected to yourself and your baby
• A reduction in anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and guilt
• Healing from your birth experience, no longer haunted by what happened
• Confidence in your parenting choices and the ability to enjoy moments without the constant dread

You're not alone in this, and things can get better. Let's work together to help you feel more like yourself again.
